Ender quarry needs over 2k RF to mine A block, more if block is harder to brake. Mass fab requires 1m EU without any scrap or 166,666 EU and 34 scrap to make 1 MB uu matter. To make 1 iridium you need 120mb uu matter so it would be 120M EU-480M RF or little less than 20M EU-80M RF and 4080 scrap. Ender quarry would be more effective way to get iridium (than mass fab with scrap) only, if it could mine chest with iridium ore every 40000 blocks, that would be 1 chest with 1 iridium ore in every 80x25x20 area or 1 chest with 1 iridium ore in every 80x50x60 if you use mass fab without scrap.
use the E-Q over a rougelike, trust in me, there's also ways to convert RF -> EU, so use those and a good RF power supply
There are no rougelike dungeons in infinity, but yes there are ways to convert RF to EU, you can use mfsu with 2 Immersive engineering HV cables powering it with 4096 RF/t each to get 2048 EU/t. But now you are bringing up next problem- makeing RF, im not going to write about it long, ill just say that Big Reactors is way more expencive there than in normal as you need 1 RTG fuel pellet to make 1 yelloroium fuel rod. Edit: And all lava genes are disabled in this pack aswell.
Did i SAY bigreactors? (they are useless) no, you have thousands of ways to get it, trust me, you can find a way to produce enough RF
I know that there are, i just would like to know witch one would you use to make 10k + rf/t. Only ones i can thing about atm are Draconic Reactor (really end game), big reactors and nether star generator, not sure witch one you need to make so much /t. Edit: and Solar expancion solars: Advanced and Ultimate ones.
I dont need to, i have 2 creative energy cells powering my base, and they(nether star genes) are pricy aswell and 1 nether star only gives enogh power to make just 1 iridium ore and little leftover, now think again how efficient it is to use nether stars.
If so, i challenge you to come to infinity expert node 1/2 and show me how fast can you fill a barrel (64 stacks) with netherstars from your netherstar farm.
I don't currently have one up, but on infinity i used to sell stars with numbers denotated by k, just to give you an idea, find out on your own how to make a farm
I had 1 of these farms and have over 10k stars in my ME witch is all i need for a moment and should i need more ill set it up again. But challenge is not to make farm, but to reach point in expert mode tech tree where you can make this farm.
There are more technologically advanced and easier ways to do it, and challenge is: you come to infinity expert mode, and play there until you have nether star farm that has produced 64 stacks nether stars. I really want to see how fast can you accomplish it with all your game knowledge.
it takes awhile because i'm slow by myself, but what i WILL say is that withers are fairly easy to kill non-automatically, i can do it without armor or a wapon (except a bow with infinity)
If you so wish, take your frends with you, and i would really like to see you kill wither without sword when it goes into hes rage-mode.
